This is crazy.

Sound good? It's fake, all of it's synthesized on a computer.

You know, this may be both a boon and a curse.

A boon because it will let amateur trackers put decent-sounding vocals into their songs, and I will gladly try this out myself if I can get my hands on it.

A curse because you never know if the next CD you buy will have a real person's vocals, or if the whole thing is computer generated.

You know, the next logical step would be to randomly generate entire songs based on mathematical equations, and throw in computer vocals too. This is both cool and scary at the same time...

Good, then we won't have to deal with dumbass drama queens. And the real talent (composers) will be in the spotlight.

Very cool - I'd love to play with this to do audible realizations of compositions before taking them to real musicians to sing/play.

WOW!

Very impressive. Some of the modulations from note to note still sound a bit processed, but overall, very cool what we can do with technology these days.
